Performing "Vergin, tutto amor" (Durante) Live At The Batenburg Baroque Festival

Details

Description

Recently, I performed multiple arias at the Batenburg Baroque Festival 2024. It was an honour to team up with such amazing musicians and I am very grateful for this inspiring experience. I wanted to share this video with you, where I sing "Vergin, tutto amor" by Francesco Durante during my final event concert. This aria is a prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary, full of love, to have pity and pardon the sinners of the world. I love singing this piece because of its expressive phrases and emotional depth. It is definitely one of my favorite arias from the Arie Antiche. Let me know in the comments what you think about it!

Composition: Vergin, tutto amor (from: Arie Antiche) - Francesco Durante
Arr. Tineke Steenbrink

Sung by Roy van Vugt (18 years old)
Violin: Zohra Jongerius
Flute: Dante Jongerius
Lute: Karl Nyhlin

The poem, written in Italian:

Vergin, tutto amor,
o madre di bontade,
o madre pia, madre pia,
ascolta, dolce Maria,
la voce del peccator.
Il pianto suo ti muova,
giungano a te i suoi lamenti,
suo duol, suoi tristi accenti,
senti pietoso quel tuo cor.
O madre di bontade,
Vergin, tutto amor.

Virgin Mary, full of love,
Oh mother of goodness,
Oh mother holy,
Hear, sweet Mary,
The voice of the sinner.
May his weeping move you,
May his laments be received by you.
Let his sorrow, his sad pleas,
Be heard by your merciful heart.
Oh mother of goodness,
Virgin, full of love.

Recorded on July 14, 2024 in the Oude Sint-Victorkerk, Batenburg during the Batenburg Baroque Festival 2024! With thanks to Batenburg Baroque, Judith Steenbrink, Wouter Jansen Photography and Suyderhoud Academy.
